meet the definition of " hazardous waste . " This determination may be performed by <br /> either testing representative samples of routine, predictable (and in some cases <br /> periodic) waste streams . Alternatively, the hazardous waste determination can be made <br /> by using knowledge of the chemicals and processes involved . <br /> To determine if a waste is hazardous, perform the following steps : <br /> • Determine whether the waste is excluded from regulation under 22 CCR § <br /> 66261 . 4 . In most cases, these exclusions will not apply to waste water and <br /> drinking water operations . <br /> • If the waste is not excluded from regulation, determine whether the waste is <br /> listed as a hazardous waste in 22 CCR § 66261 subpart D (federally-listed <br /> waste), or in 22 CCR § 66261 . 126 Appendix X (California regulated hazardous <br /> waste) . A listed waste may include used oil, unused commercial chemical or <br /> off-specification product, and a spent solvent used for degreasing . <br /> • If the waste is not listed as a hazardous waste, determine whether it exhibits a <br /> hazardous characteristic (i . e . , ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic) by using <br /> knowledge of the waste or performing one of the following tests using a <br /> California state-certified environmental testing laboratory . It is often helpful <br /> to review of the Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to determine the hazardous <br /> characteristics of a hazardous material that later becomes a hazardous waste . <br /> A description of the waste characteristics is provided below . <br /> Ignitability <br /> A waste is ignitable if a representative sample is easily combustible or flammable or if <br /> burnt it burns so vigorously that it creates a hazard . A waste is ignitable if it is : <br /> • A liquid, other than an aqueous solution containing less than 24 percent <br /> alcohol by volume, with a flash point of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (° F) . <br /> under standard temperature of causing fire b <br /> Anon-liquid capable u g y means of p <br /> friction, absorption or moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes and which <br /> when ignited burns so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard . <br /> • An ignitable compressed gas as defined in the Department of Transportation <br /> (DOT) regulations . <br /> • An oxidizer as defined in DOT regulations . <br /> c�P An ignitable waste is assigned the EPA Hazardous Waste <br /> Number D001 <br /> 2of13 <br />
